There are a number of ports of GCC to Windows. First there's RSXNTDJ, which is
an add on to DJGPP. Get it from from pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2tk/rsxdj151.zip
on your favourite Simtel mirror.

Then there is Cygwin and mingw32. Both are very good, but you'll need to use a
bit of batch file trickery to get them working in tandem with DJGPP. I can't
remember URL's for these now, maybe someone will post a follow up.

Last but not least, there is lcc-win32, which is not DJGPP or GCC at, but is
another good, free win32 compiler.

Hope this helps,
